Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | These songs are by another kickass punk band called Nofx, the first one is a 20 minute song called the Decline: The Decline Where are all these stupid people from and how did they get to be so dumb Bred on purple mountain range Feed amber waves of grains To lesser human beings, zero feelings Blame it on human nature, man's destiny Blame it on the greediocracy The fear of God, the fear of change, fear of truth Add the Bill of Rights Subtract the wrongs, there's no answers Memorize and sing Star spangled songs, when the questions Aren't ever asked Is anybody learning from the past We're living in united stagnation Father what have I done. I took that 22. A gift for me from you to bed with me each night. Kept it clean polished it well. Cherished every cartridge every shell Down by the creek under brush under dirt There's a carcass of my second kill Down at the park under stone under pine There's a carcass of my brother William Brother where have you gone to I swear I never thought I could I see so many times They told me to shoot straight, don't pull The trigger squeeze, that will insure A kill, a kill is what you want To kill is why we breed The Christians love their guns the church and NRA Pray for their salvation Prey on lower faiths The story book's been read And every line believed The curriculum's been set Logic is a threat Reason searched + seized Jerry spent some Time in Michigan A 20 year vacation After all he had a dime A dime is worth a Lot more in Detroit A dime in California Just a 20 dollar fine Jerry only stayed A couple months It's hard to enjoy Yourself while Bleeding out the ass Asphyxiation is Simple and fast It beats 17 fun years Of being someone's bitch Don't think Drink your wine Watch the fire burn His problems not mine Just be that model citizen I wish I had a schilling for every senseless killing I'd buy a government. America's for sale and You can get a good deal on it and make a healthy Profit, or maybe tear it apart you start with Assumption, that a million people are smarter than 1 Serotonin's gone she gave up drifted away Sara fled though process gone She left her answering machine on The greeting left spoken sincere Messages no one will ever hear 10,000 messages a day a million more transmissions lay Dead victims of the laissez faire 10,000 voices 100 guns, 100 decibels turns to one, one bullet One empty head now with serotonin gone The man that used to speak Performs a cute routine. Feel a little patronized. Don't feel bad. They found A way inside your head And you feel a bit misled. It's not that they don't Care. The television's Put a thought inside your Head like a Barry Manilow Jingle I'd like to teach the World to sing in perfect Harmony a symphonic blank Stare. It doesn't make you care. Not designed to make you care. They're betting you wont care. They'll place a wager on your greed. A wager on your pride Why try to beat them when a million others tried We are the whore. Intellectually spayed We are the queer Dysfunctionally raised One more pill to kill the pain, One more pill to kill the pain One more pill to kill the pain, Living through conformity One more prayer should keep me safe. One more prayer to keep us safe One more prayer to keep us safe There's gonna be a better place Lost the battle lost the war lost the things Worth living for lost the will to win the fight One more pill to kill the pain The going gets tough the tough get debt Don't pay attention pay the rent our next of kins Pay for your sins a little faith should keep us safe Save us The human existence is failing Resistance essential. The future Written off. The odds are astronomically Against us only Moron and genius would fight a Losing battle against the super Ego when giving in is so damn comforting And so we go on with our lives we Know the truth but prefer lies Lies are simple. Simple is bliss. Why Go against tradition when we can Admit defeat. Live in decline. Be there Victim of our own design With status quo built on suspect. Why would anyone stick out their Neck fellow member of club We've got ours. I'd Like to introduce You to our host He's got his and I've Got mine. Meet THE DECLINE This is another song called Murder the Government, this one is short though: MURDER THE GOVERNMENT I wanna see the constitution burn I wanna watch the white house overturn I wanna witness some blue bloods blood bleed red I wanna tar and lynch the KKK I wanna pull and shoot the NRA I wanna pay the lobyists To kill themselves! Murder the government Murder the government Murder the government and then, Do it again, yeah I figured these were good song for O and A's talks about the end of society. Adopted By Slackjaw | ||||

O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Take the Power Back Spoken: 'Crank the music up' Bring that shit in! Uggh! Yeah, the movement's in motion with mass militant poetry Now check this out...uggh! In the right light, study becomes insight But the system that dissed us Teaches us to read and write So called facts are fraud They want us to allege and pledge And bow down to their God Lost the culture, the culture lost Spun our minds and through time Ignorance has taken over Yo, we gotta take the power back! Bam! Here's the plan Motherfuck Uncle Sam Step back, I know who I am Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear It's the beats and the lyrics they fear The rage is relentless We need a movement with a quickness You are the witness of change And to counteract We gotta take the power back Yeah, we gotta take the power back Come on, come on! We gotta take the power back The present curriculum I put my fist in 'em Eurocentric every last one of 'em See right through the red, white and blue disguise With lecture I puncture the structure of lies Installed in our minds and attempting To hold us back We've got to take it back 'Cause holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears One-sided stories for years and years and years I'm inferior? Who's inferior? Yea, we need to check the interior Of the system that cares about only one culture And that is why We gotta take the power back Yeah, we gotta take the power back Come on, come on! We gotta take the power back Hey yo check, we're gonna have to break it, break it, break it down Awww shit! Uggh! And like this...uggh! Come on, yeah! Bring it back the other way! The teacher stands in front of the class But the lesson plan he can't recall The student's eyes don't perceive the lies Bouning off every fucking wall His composure is well kept I guess he fears playing the fool The complacent students sit and listen to some of that Bullshit that he learned in school Europe ain't my rope to swing on Can't learn a thing from it Yet we hang from it Gotta get it, gotta get it together then Like the motherfuckin' weathermen To expose and close the doors on those who try To strangle and mangle the truth 'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react We gotta take the power back Yeah, we gotta take the power back Come on, come on! We gotta take the power back No more lies (8 times, building to a crescendo) Uggh! Yeah! Take it back y'all Take it back, a-take it back A-take it back y'all, come on! Take it back y'all Take it back, a-take it back A-take it back y'all, come on! Uggh! Yeah! E-Mail Me IM me at stickysituation2 | ||||
